February

_If your birthday is in FEBRUARY. . .

Your birthstone is
AMETHYST

Amethysts have been found in belongings of ancient kings and royalty and were once more valuable than diamonds. Amethysts are said to provide protection and power. They are a symbol of strength in overcoming bad habits or addictions and or any other problems. Amethysts also may strengthen the bond of love between two people and make great gifts for loved ones. They have long been used in spiritual and religious practices to symbolize the true spirit and value of your faith.

In the book An Earth Child's Book of the Year, can you find the amethyst hidden in a picture and the word "amethyst" in the text on the two February pages?

Your birth flower is
VIOLET and PRIMROSE

The violet symbolizes goodness, faith and hope. The primrose speaks of goodness, modesty and humility, yet also being special at the same time.

In the book An Earth Child's Book of the Year, your birth flowers are on the February and March pages. See if you can find them both. (Hint: violets are not always purple!)

ROWAN

The rowan tree speaks of new life coming out of the darkness of winter and also the rebirth of the sun.
